The routes from the two IGP domains are redistributed to each other.

Description
If the gateway router is not a dedicated device for the OOBM network, several safeguards must be implemented for containment of management and production traffic boundaries. Since the managed network and the management network are separate routing domains, separate IGP routing instances must be configured on the router—one for the managed network and one for the OOBM network. In addition, the routes from the two domains must not be redistributed to each other.

Check Text ( C-19233r1_chk )
Verify that the IGP instance used for the managed network does not redistribute routes into the IGP instance used for the management network and vice versa. As an alternative, static routes can be used to forward management traffic to the OOBM interface; however, this method may not scale well. If static routes are used to forward management traffic to the OOB backbone network, verify that the OOBM interface is not an IGP adjacency and that the correct destination prefix has been configured to forward the management traffic to the correct next-hop and interface for the static route. In the following configuration examples, 10.1.1.0/24 is the management network and 10.1.20.4 is the interface address of the OOB backbone router that the OOB gateway router connects to. The network 10.1.20.0/24 is the OOBM backbone.
